This residential car park in Belsize Park, Hampstead Heath, Camden (NW3) suffered a serious flood from the upper main road due to on-street rainwater drains being blocked solid from lack of maintenance. Although not historically a flood prone area, heavy rain and flooding wrought by climate change resulted in two houses and three apartments being flooded to a depth of one metre. This led residents to take preventive measures to decrease their reliance on external drain maintenance.

Our task was to waterproof the walls and floor junction, channel drain and car park expansion joints, as well as to securely bond and waterproof the flood doors that had been newly fitted to the houses and apartments (they had also had sewer no-return valves installed).

All told, these preventive works should stop any future flood damage and reduce the astronomical new insurance premiums and excess.
